Who We ArePulmonary & Critical Care of Northwest Michigan, P. C., is
a group of six physicians who are Board Certified in Pulmonary and Critical
Care Medicine. Two of our six physicians are additionally Board Certified
in Sleep Disorders Medicine. We provide consultative and managing pulmonary
services in our office at North Royal Drive and via our hospital practice
at Munson Medical Center. We serve patients throughout northern lower
Michigan.

Our six physicians rotate duties between the hospital
and office to maintain availability of weekday 8 am - 4:30 pm office services,
as well as 24-hour hospital coverage. You will primarily deal with one
physician, but may be seen by others in the group if an emergency occurs.
